Some of the below content may have already been released on PTS.
Flight Controls Changes - Need Feedback
- Changes have been made to the way flight interprets input to better support controllers. Because of this change you may notice differences with mouse control. Please report all differences you notice in as much details as possible.
- Our goal is for flight to feel the same as it does on the live servers.
Koltyr
- Many bugs with have been fixed, like issues with teleporters, jump pads, and lifts.
- Bases and Warpgates have had a level design pass. Feedback on cover and other specific base issues is appreciated.
Valkyrie Balance
- Valkyrie resilience changes
- Valkyrie resistance to ESF nose cannons provided by composite armor is being made base line. Composite armor will no longer provide a bonus resistance against ESF nose cannons
- Base resistance to ESF nose cannons increased from 85 to 90%
- Composite armor no longer provides a bonus.
- Resistance to HEAT and AP is also being adjusted. These adjustments make the Valkyrie a little more resilient, similar to a Liberator
- Resistance to HEAT increased from 0 to 25%
- Resistance to AP increased from 25% to 35%
- Hover Stability Airframe
- Doubled the improved hover effect. Max rank will now completely negate vertical descend.
- CAS-14
- Needed to be a little better at its job. Blast damage increased so it takes 8 hits to kill infantry instead of 10 within the inner radius.
- Increased blast damage from 100 to 125
- Pelter Rocket Pod
- The blast damage size on the Pelter is modeled after the banshee. Although it is not intended to be effective anti-personnel, this model is too harsh considering it also has a slow muzzle velocity and a smaller magazine. The blast damage is being remodeled to be part-way between an ESF rocket pod and the Banshee. This should add some versatility to the Pelter where it is more of a hybrid between the CAS-14 and Hellion.
- Inner blast damage increased from 100 to 200
- Inner blast radius increased from 0.35 to 0.75
- Outer blast radius size increased from 1 meter to 3 meters
- Hellion G20
- The Hellion needs a small range increase.
- Cone of Fire reduced from 1.25 degrees to 1 degree
- Maximum damage range increased from 10 to 25
- Minimum damage range increased from 75 to 100
Instructional Events
- Some of the tutorial notifications will have VO
- A whole slew of new events have been added
- Terminals, friendly fire, grief levels, grouping, map screens, profile screens, resources
- Key reminders have been streamlined
NS-44L Blackhand
- With an extended barrel and integrated scope the NS-44L Blackhand provides significant advantages over similar pistols when engaging threats at longer ranges.
Camo Coverage Changes
- Updated NC, TR, and VS textures to help with IFF issues. This update revolves around the camo mask and targeted areas on the character to show empire color. This is a work in progress so these edits may change in the future.
Player Studio Items
- Added a rack of decals
- Added a ton of helmets
- Added a dearth of vehicle cosmetics
- And just a smattering of camos
Misc

Looks like i start fly with my Valkire... :) but i think this little baby need more upgrade
-
well at least the Valkyrie becomes more useful because of increased survivability
and that shit ton of bugs is HUGE :o yamiks was right, what the hell did SOE do at their work place? or it really was Sony slwoing them down too much to get the PS4-release going
talking of instructional events, the grief-point counter is already annoying as hell, would love an option to turn it off, or have it excluded from the proximity/squad/platoon/orders-chat window
-
Wow...this list...wow
-
I am happy that they buffed the valkyrie not only the armor but als the weapons. When I tried them out in the VR I did not find any of them sexy. Maybe this does change now. E.G the guided missles. How do you want to guide it to the target while sitting in a valkyrie that needs to move constantly to survive. You cannot allow to hover for 3 sec. until the projectile hits. Or did you find a way to really use this rocket?
But to be honest I dont know if the mentioned weapen changes affect NC or only other factions. ;)
-
since Valkyrie is NS, it affects of course all factions
the standard weapon (Wyvern), the Hellion and the VLG rocket Launcher (the one you mentioned) where the only acceptable weapons for it, so a weapon buff was more than needed
also don't take VR testings as granted for live gameplay effectiveness since splash damage doesn't work there
and weapon aiming angles are not too bad, so even guided rockets are not really a big problem for players, if you know how the hornet missiles for ESFs work, it is just the same with VLG
-
Well, this looks good, I guess I'll play again at the next big Update :)
-
What dies that mean: Revive functionality breaks if your corpse is hit by your own revive grenade.
Does it mean I can now res myself with my grenade?
-
No, the problem was:that your own revive grenade,sometimes cancel the function of other revive grenades which would revive you.
